Arsenio Lupin, il famoso ladro gentiluomo, personaggio uscito dalla penna di Maurice Leblanc nel 1905, è protagonista di numerosi romanzi, da cui sono stati tratti film e serie televisiva. Sembra che Leblanc si sia ispirato a una figura vera, Marius Jacob, anarchico francese e ladro geniale. Le sue avventure, con intrecci inverosimili, assurdi, se sempre condite da senso dell'umorismo, hanno anche ispirato un manga giapponese, e sono pertanto note anche alle generazioni più giovani.
